Hot 8 Brass Band

The Hot 8 Brass Band brings the vibrant energy of New Orleans second-line parades to Birmingham. Blending hip-hop, jazz, and funk with traditional brass sounds, the band has been a cornerstone of the city's musical heritage since 1995. Their performances are high-energy celebrations, featuring a rotating lineup of talented musicians on sousaphone, trumpet, trombone, saxophone, and drums.

Attendees can expect a dynamic show that mixes original compositions with classic New Orleans standards. The band's music has been featured in Spike Lee's documentary *When the Levees Broke* and they have toured internationally, bringing their unique sound to audiences worldwide. This is a rare opportunity to experience authentic New Orleans brass band culture in the UK.
